Just found it? Companies like Amazon have been doing layoffs under the guise of AI for a couple years now.

Gotta break the two party system and the electoral college for it to be feasible. I would love for that to happen.

That is literally what I’m saying, yes. I take it you have never worked on the operations side of data centers?

That is not true, they have multiple data centers. I completely disagree on the costs as well. A single high capacity switch can cost tens of thousands (of which they have probably hundreds) and that’s not even mentioning storage, electricity, rack space, server cost ($$$$). The land is the cheapest part of data centers.

Have you worked in or with a data center? It was most of my job for 6 years.

I didn’t mention Steam’s cut of sales, but I do want to mention that you can refund steam games as long as you don’t play them for longer than 2 hours. This is actually better than GameStop or retailers who normally only accept returns of sealed, new copies. So I’m not sure why you’d being that up when it defeats your point.

If I somehow found a way to leave, it certainly wouldn’t be to Japan. They’re just starting the same rise to fascism.

My cats have a blast inside and don’t hunt birds to extinction or get run over by cars. I’m fine with it, and so are they.

Yep, same. Plus they live healthier lives indoors and are far less likely to be injured.

Oh yeah, we’re on the same page there. She’s in it for herself.

I bet all households in Kansas have gender neutral bathrooms. Obviously not public, but still.

Add some commercial bathrooms to the mix too. They gunna outlaw those?

Also people that let their cats outside are part of this problem.

She should have stayed in to fight it instead of jumping ship

Oh yeah, I wasn’t looking for a 1:1 replacement for Amazon, my bad. I was just curious if you had any decent ones in general.

I’ve left Amazon as well. What are your go-to sites?

I mean, sure. But I think you might be underestimating the infrastructure costs. They aren’t just using a few 10GB switches. They also aren’t just using a single data center to store and deliver games. Then, you have to consider all of the redundancies involved, the contractors, the data center contracts, etc. Even if they don’t have their own DCs, AWS or Azure at this level is $$$$$$.

Storing, transferring, and hosting at this scale is not cheap by any means. It makes GameStop’s tech infrastructure look like peanuts in comparison.

Wait, what the fuck? I mean, I’m not all that surprised that misogyny came out over this, especially these days, but still.

Fuck the AIPAC.

Mike Lee is so fucking dumb.

He certainly has an influence - he’s still the chairman of the board. He gets to decide who gets fired and when. In some ways, he found a way to have more influence, while being less hands-on.

That’s called “source available”. FUTO basically did the same thing with their stuff after the community rightfully got angry over their use of “open source” in their docs.
